Easter....

Easter has come and gone! I've never really been a big fan of Easter, except for the religious aspects and Cadbury cream eggs....yummy! Now as I'm older, I can't eat one a week from January on like I did as a child. Oh well!

I was on spring break last week. I went to Kansas last week to do a ton of wedding stuff. My mom and I went to try on wedding dresses. She's still making my dress, but she wanted to check out how to build in a bra and bustle my train. That was a lot of fun, and we were able to add some more detail to it. I also tried on her wedding dress. She pulled out THE dress she wore on June 6th, 1981. She made it herself and it is beautiful (for the time period). My mom was tiny when she got married, so imagine my shock when the dress was too big on me! Woo-hoo! I guess my wedding diet is working...too bad I haven't started it. Over spring break, we ended up adding Murad's cousin, Kaylea as a flowergirl. So now we have two! We also found a potential harpist for the ceremony and tomorrow we meet with a photographer. Whew! Lots of work! March 21st, 2008 marked our pre-anniversary! That means one year until the big day! I'm feeling a little overwhelmed!

Abby came to visit us last week! We had a lot of fun with her. She had never been to Dallas, and I truly think she had a great time. One of her chores was walking Sam & Maya each day. She took on the challenge and each day, she was waiting to do her chore. Sam & Maya love Abby. Even after Abby left, they would continue to look for their "big sister."

While she was here we went to the park and she made a new friend named Ben (I think there may have been a little romance there...shhh...don't tell daddy). We also went to the Dallas World Aquarium where she was able to see one of her favorite creatures, sharks! On Saturday, we went on an Easter Egg Hunt at the local recreation center. She got to decorate an Easter cookie with real buttercream frosting. Yummy! She even took a picture with the Easter Bunny, how fun? After that we almost missed the hunt. They told us that the hunt would be an hour and a half after the cookie decorating. So we got bored and went to the park. When we came back the hunt was almost over. Fortunately, the rec center lady still had a bag of eggs and dumped them in the field for Abby to find.

Now we're making plans for her to come to Dallas this summer! Woo-hoo! How fun?!

Last weekend Sampson & Maya graduated from puppy school! Yeah! We are so proud of our kids!!!
